• 22 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: contrary to the conventional English language. As to why accountants chose that route, that is something that we need to research on. I also encourage at this point for all accounting officers to emulate this worthy examples. In this Report, the Committee has continued to hold individual officers to account for the various acts of omission and commission that occasioned either loss or illegal application of public funds.

That is because most of ... view

• 22 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: I will just give one example. Before I go there, many businesses have been crippled because of being owed huge sums of money. People have committed suicide, especially those who have done business with the national Government and county governments. Local economies have been grounded to a halt because of money owed to suppliers and contractors. Banks are auctioning property across the country because of this. Let me just give an example of the State Department for Roads alone. As at 31st December 2023, the State Department for Roads had pending bills of Ksh162 billion with up to Ksh650 billions ... view
